Security and Compliance for Office 365
[Proofpoint has] given us our time back to focus on the really evil stuff. CISO, Global 500 Manufacturer Like millions of businesses around the world, you may be migrating to Microsoft Office 365.1 There are plenty of benefits in making that move and new risks to manage. Not all advanced threat, email and SaaS security, or compliance archiving solutions are created equal. Microsoft s built-in capabilities in those areas might be fine for some purposes. But in many cases, Office 365 customers need added protection and compliance. 1 John Callaham (Windows Central). There are now 1.2 billion Office users and 60 million Office 365 commercial customers. March 2016.
AS BUSINESS CHANGES, SO DO ATTACKS Email and file sharing in the cloud make it easy for attackers to exploit the human factor of security and steal credentials, data and more. In fact, 91% of targeted attacks target people. 2 Those attacks include phishing, which has become multi-layered and evades many conventional defenses. There s also the constant threat of ransomware and advanced malware. They often use automated tools to mine information about targets from social media profiles. And then there s business email compromise (BEC). This growing threat employs spoofed emails from someone posing as an authority figure. At the same time, regulations and business requirements are growing larger and more complex. Relying on basic archiving capabilities can be costly and risky. 2 Kim Zetter (Wired). Hacker Lexicon: What Are Phishing and Spear Phishing? April 2015.
Why you may need added security and compliance Office 365 includes basic security and compliance features. But they may not be enough. You need a security and compliance solution that offers: Superior blocking for both known and advanced threats The right insights to discover and respond to indicators of compromise Comprehensive protection for all your data and files stored in the cloud A well-orchestrated defense that integrates into your security ecosystem Accuracy and flexibility with custom email classifiers and built-in policies The ability to retain and archive business-relevant content in a way that s legally defensible On its own, Office 365 doesn t offer all those critical features. That gap creates new challenges throughout your organization.
For security teams Efficacy is not the only thing you have to worry about with security. You need a view of your entire network landscape, including SaaS applications and files in the cloud, to understand the threats targeting your business. Office 365 doesn t offer that visibility natively. Office 365 allowed too much through. Since Proofpoint, our phishing problems have pretty much gone away. IT Administrator. Private University For IT departments Consider the costs of outages and support. How much time do you spend tracing and cleaning up messages? How much time do you spend reimaging infected machines? Office 365 is not designed to help reduce that time. Plus, many customers experience multiple Office 365 outages each year. For compliance staff Office 365 is also not the ideal solution for today s complex archiving and information protection needs. At the datacenter level, it complies with major regulations. But problems occur when archiving and supervising email data and making it readily accessible. Will Office 365 find all your sensitive data (including multiple file types)? Can it resolve issues across all channels? And does it enforce and report policy issues? For many Office 365 customers, the answer is no.
